The sounds of men's feet matching could be heard from miles away, the large combined force of Sun Qian, and Ma Teng was entering Xu Cheng, once the place over all the land which Cao Cao had ruled over. Over the past 4 weeks, Zhuge Liang and his army advanced quickly over the Central Plan of China, taking city after city with seemingly no resistance, the armies had seemed to disappear, even with the approach to the city, there was no grand army to meet them with one last chance to stop them, no it was simple march thought the country side for these men, which had bothered both Zhuge Liang, and the rest of the army quit a lot. Cao Cao had to be somewhere it was not like he could just disappear in the middle of the night, or that the gods could just take them all away from the land. That answer would be too simple, and he knew better then to fall for simple believes such as that. Upon entering the capital they found it abandon, and took it with out problems, it seemed that the land of Cao Cao was no more.
Zhuge was sitting in a chair in the main office of Cao Cao, which was still luscious with many fancy ideas, and statues. He was looking at a map which was on a small table in front of him, wondering what his next move should be, and how that would put a end to the last real enemy, Zhou Yu. Zhuge turned to see his new student enter the room with a worried look on his face.
"Jiang Wei, what is it that has brought you here, some troubling news, possibly," Zhuge said, hoping that it was not right.
"Well both troubling, and good news sir," Wei said looking right at Zhuge, "Two things my lord, it seems that we have reports from advance scouts, and we know where Cao Cao army is. Also we know where Cao Cao is as well."
"Well it seems Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu have come to some arrangement, most of Cao Cao's forces are in Xia Pi, while Cao Cao, and his generals are currently in Wu, for the commencement of Emperor Zhou Yu, speaking of which, we got a news that we are to return back for the crowning of our new Emperor, seems he thinks highly enough to give up some type of position in this new government, old pal," Pang Tong said walking from behind Jiang Wei.
"Well this is a interesting move indeed, I must ponder my idea for what action to take, well gentlemen who will lead this army why we are gone," Zhuge asked.
"Well Hua is going to be in command, sir," Wei said looking at from person to person as to try to see what made each so great.
"Very well, then I believe it is time to be off, then" Zhuge replied.
One month later
"Well it does not look like to much have changed here," Wei said looking towards Jing Zhou.
The town looked did show a sign of the actives that were going on within the city, the celebration for the naming of the new emperor were going to be something else. On there way into the city was most of the leaders of the expeditionary force. To some, it was there first trip to Jing Zhou, and to others it was a return to home. To Wei it was represent the town that took him in, and also the building of a new land. Jing Zhou itself began the era as a relatively small town, but when it became the capital for Lord Qian, the size began to grew, and Qian, Tong, and Liang were able to come up with ingenious plans to improve the city. The city now stood as one of the main ones in all of China, rivaling anything from the Han era. When the carriage he was in stopped he got up to find himself face to face with his ruler, and the future emperor.
Wei bowed in respect to the leader, "It is good to find you safe."
"Well thank you, I must say I have read may great things about you, I believe that you are the future of this land, Jiang Wei, just make sure that you listen to Zhuge Liang, and I think you may in time turn out even his better," Qian said with a smile.
"Well thank you my lord, you are very kind," Wei said before moving on, feeling very nervous from the compliment which he did not believe he deserved. As he walked into the place, he only thought aobut how great it was to be home, to be able to sleep in his room which he had not done in months. So when he walked into the castle he head straight to his room but was stopped by a voice half there.
"Well, young man, it nice to see that you got back in one piece," the voice said from behind him.
Wei turned to see Huang Zhong standing holding a small child around his neck. Wei was a bit surprised that Zhong would be any where near a kid, "Um so whose kids is that, you holding Zhong?"
"Well if you must know it is young Sun Ma, for some reason this kid just won't leave me alone. Plus I have to make sure he grows up the right way, and learns how to be a rightful gentleman, and warrior, now don't I" Zhong said with a smile.
"Great I guess are future is doomed," Wei said with a smirk.
He then walked up to Zhong and looked at the small dark haired dark eyed boy, "Well young lord, I guess the future is for us to determine."
"Oh, I almost forgot, Zhuge wants you in the main meeting room asap," Zhong said.
Wei almost fell to the ground afraid of what he was going to hear, he was not near ready to go out on another trip which take him far away for his home, but he knew that even though he did not want to go, he had to for the future of the kingdom. When he arrived he saw that Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sun Qian standing around a map. When he approached the table he was able to tell it was a map of China with the current locations of the armies. It seemed that Zhao Yu had his army into three groups, one in Wu, one in He Fei, and one in Xia Pi.
"Ok, Lord Jiang Wei it is nice to see you, as you can tell Yu has split up his army into three, Tong, and Zhuge have come to agreement that we are to split are forces to match there, that this course of action would be the best for us. Zhuge is going to take the on the forces in Xia Pi which we believe are under control of Cao Cao, and Sima Yi," Qian said before being interrupted.
"So I head back up north again," Wei asked.
"No, I and Tong are going to lead the army against Zhao Yu, which leaves the army at He Fei under the command of Lu Xun, for the attack on this area, we are counting you to take this area," Qian said.
Wei looked at them in complete shock, he was going to lead a army, he was felt for sometime he could, but he was not thinking he would get the command, "Um who will I be taking under my command, sir."
"Your choice, but we will need talk about that later, Lord Qian, you have a crowning to prepare for," Zhuge said calmly.
"Right, well see you all there," Qian said before leaving.
Wei finnaly went to his room for some rest, but the news of getting his first command prevented him from falling asleep, and soon it was time for the crowning.
Wei showed up in his finest robe, and made his way to his spot, the crown room had been built over the last three months, and was a sight to behold, the room was a combination of dark green and yellow, at the entrance stood six statues of Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Ma Teng, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. They were over 12 feet tall in bronze. The reason there was not one of Qian was because he order there not to be one. Wei stood on the right side on the room at the front, the room was filled with officers, and trusted helper of the kingdom. At the from were two large chairs where Ma Yun, and Sun Qian were sitting, on the left and right were Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang, the head councils for government. Qian picked up one of the the mandate.
"With this, the age of the Han has ended, we must though not forget the things that they showed us, and we must learn from there mistakes, it is our job now to rule this land, and I, Sun Qian will do my best to lead this land into a new age of peace."
The ceremony went on a bit longer then ended, Wei was so tired he went right to be knowing it would not be long till he was away from home again.
A/N- the next three chapters are all battles and the last three chapters I have not picked the order thought yet so if you have any idea just say so in the review, the battles are Jiang Wei v Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang vs Cao Cao, and Sun Qian v Zhao Yu. If not thanks.
